Pedro Pessoa Bisneto Biography

Pedro Pessoa Bisneto was born in September 1997, in Recife, the famous beach town in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco.

Although he didn’t have a sporting lifestyle as a child, when he was 11, he casually met Jose Olimpio, also known as Ze Radiola, one of the most successful instructors ever produced by the state of Pernambuco. Radiola invited Pedro to attend one of his classes, which he did.

As a yellow belt, Pedro realized his talent and decided to invest all of his efforts into the sport, quickly becoming one of the top up-and-comers in the country, earning national & international medals at the junior and juvenile levels.

In 2019, however, Pedro Pessoa Bisneto’s father passed away. The event led Pedro to abandon his sporting goals to pursue life as a truck driver so he could provide for his family. He spent some time in this line of business, but an accident forced him to leave the trucking life. After some time working as an Uber driver, in 2021 his teammate Diego Ramalho – who was living in the US, invited Busneto to move to North America to help him with the runnings of his gym, an offer accepted by Pedro.

Pedro Pessoa Bisneto received his black belt in June 2022, while standing on the podium of the IBJJF World Championship podium from the hands of Diego Ramalho.
